Jack and Jill Politics: Puerto Rico’s Primary Is Today

    In the grand scheme its a non event,they cannot even vote in the general election.

    My take on it, they will vote for HRC since they are 'poor working class whites' and show, that since its basically a moot election, they are as out of touch with the real world as Kentucky and West Virginia. At the end of the night, she will be grinning as if she is the nominee and screeching on to Denver since only I, THE Hillary Rodham Clinton can beat McCain in Novemeber, bleech.

    Puerto Ricans are going to lay low - the general take on their level of participation in the political process must have come from a report somebody blew the dust off of - word on the blogs out of the PR is they don't really care that much about stateside politics BECAUSE they don't have a say in the general election.

    For anyone who is interested the DaileyKos is running updates every 30 to 40 min.Clinton leading 62 to 38 but turnout right now is low at 30 to 35% she might not get the high turnout to fuel her fantasy about getting more popular votes

    too late djchefron,


    she's already posted on her site a popular vote higher than Obama's.

    Puerto Ricans and Latinos please link to this site. Basically, Obama supporters don't care about you and are dismissive. Remember this in November!!
  • TruthSeeker · 1 year ago
    Really low turn-out in Puerto Rico..looks like under 400,000. Obama might wipe out her roughly 100,000 vote gain in the final 2 contests.


    I don't want to hear any crap about popular vote. I don't really want her to campaign for Barack and then use it to say she's entitled to VP.

    68 to 32 Clinton. Ouch.
    She takes the popular vote pulling away.



    After the circus we saw yesterday and today's result, I think it's safe to say Denver is going to be VERY VERY ugly.

    VERY ugly.

    Did I say it was going to be ugly?

    I predict all hell breaking loose on the convention floor.

    Truthmeeker, you are correct that Puerto Rico does not vote, but individuals of Puerto Rican descent do, particularly those in NY and South Fla

    Latino's and Puerto Ricans will vote for Obama. I am entirely sure that Hillary will not lift a finger for statehood after the primaries.
